Wholly sh**balls! that's a nice list to be on!

Many top goalkeepers in and around that age. I personally don't see any reason Milan wouldn't still be starting at his current level, and if so I'm not so sure that torch needs to be past. Crepeau had a decent individual season on one of the worst teams in MLS. I'm not so sure he catches Borjan in the next two years. But yes, a third option would be nice.

Getting back to the topic of the thread though, how much of a boss was Paul Staltari! If you combine his Bundesliga, EPL and European cup matches, I think you can make an argument that he probably had the most successful club career of any Canadian International. Certainly in terms of number of truly top flight footie appearances.

Not a bad move their Birchy! ☀️🏝😎

We can debate at nauseam what this means and whether or not he feels Canadian, or how committed he is to the nats, or whether or not this is the reality of multiculturalism, but there is one thing that is beyond debate... that was a stupid ****ing comment!

The full sentence from the article: From the sounds of that I think the U23s will clearly be getting the leftovers. More than just Davies and David will likely be with the Sr CMNT.

Yes that's correct. Or more specifically it doesn't count as wages but counts against the team's salary budget. So if for instance they signed him for 4 years for 3.2Mil, that would be an 800K/year cap hit, meaning they would have to pay him a max of 700K/year to stay under the TAM 1.5Mil limit. Whatever the real numbers were, probably a factor in why he "refused" the offer. IMO he's still young and I would prefer to see him in Europe with the possibility of moving up a level. The oddities of the MLS contracting system and it still being largely an afterthought in Europe make it a ****** league to try to move up from, which I feel he's still capable of doing. I think comparisons with Piette are only valid to a certain extent. Let's not forget, one was transferring from D3 Spain, where as the other is on the books for one of the largest clubs in the World outside of Europe.

they made a lot from Davies, and did that help the team?

Herdman needs counter this and convince the lads that this game is even more important than the one, and that nothing less than going straight for the jugular is acceptable. The US will come out fired up, but if we match them and frustrate them, we can expose the doubts that are surely present in their locker room, and they will unravel.

I think he heard you! The Dan Cloutier of soccer! lol The smash job was Piette breaking up all of their attacks! Stay outta our house ******! llllooooolllll!!!!

I don't see TFC giving him a DP deal and I don't see him going to any other MLS club. I think he would probably take a slight pay cut though, and I don't see him getting anything near £1.5M again on anything but a short contract. Plus I could see league head office finding some extra Garber bucks for his marketing value. If he comes to MLS I think it'll be to TFC on a ~4 year +850K TAM deal.

I'm just glad he GTFO and is safely back in Canada. Rest is details.

Hence it was rejected. Yeah they've got some Davies bucks kicking around, but being the cheapest team in MLS seems to be in their DNA.
